Cardinal Brick Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 And lo! Did Lord Uhtred spake unto his crew, ‘Bring out your shield of linden wood, and swords with poison ivy pattern and prepare to face the trolls’ he then did lean of the steering oar of the ship ‘haul down the sail he cried’ with a crash the ships met and oars did splinter, man and troll reached for his weapons and battle did commence. Etc As was being discussed ‘someone’ should make a scene of the troll ship fighting the Viking long ship, so as I had the day off work I thought I’d throw something together it’s the first time I’ve tried to do something like this and photograph it. Sadly all my blue baseplates aren’t with me, as a student I tend to just have bits and bobs (and ships) with me in term time. And finally a question who do you think is going to win? And finally a question who do you think is going to win? Ps, Mod if you’d rather this merged into the sea battle topic please merge it right in. Quote
The Rancor Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) The 'Brave' or slightly crazy Viking warriors always win their battles, even if their theme IS discontinued! I like this combination of ships, mainly because I don't know many of the old Pirate ships. It sorta fits... Vikings believed in giants and trolls so who's to say these aren't both Viking sets?

Dwarvenlord Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 A pity I don't have ANYTHING from the viking theme! I like the battle scene. Maybe some slain warriors would've done a much more chaotic effect, though. It sorta fits... Vikings believed in giants and trolls so who's to say these aren't both Viking sets? Hey, that's an idea! The vikings also believed in Dwarves! Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Excellent! I like how they've done battle now. Can we see some other pics? Quote
Inertia Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Lord Uhtred? I detect a fan of Bernard Cornwell's works... Cool to see these ships fighting, i destroyed my Viking Warship Quote
Cardinal Brick Posted June 18, 2008 Author Posted June 18, 2008 Excellent! I like how they've done battle now. Can we see some other pics? What other pics would you like to see it's still sitting on my desk so it's easy to do. Lord Uhtred?I detect a fan of Bernard Cornwell's works... Indeed I am though spake came from Terry Pratchett as everyone spakes in sagas Quote
Tom_castlefan Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 TBH, the troll ships RAWKS! Viking ship just doesn't compare Quote
commanderbly42 Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Viking ship just doesn't compare You take that back mister! Anyhow, great scene - the whole chaos is captured really well. Maybe some slain figures, as others have said, should be added? Quote
QuartermasterRobert Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 This looks great! The two sets really blend well. Go Vikings! Quote
